When Su Ming attacked and the four white dogs delivered their strongest attacks, the world around Su Ming looked as if it was about to shatter. A large amount of distortions appeared, and Su Ming rushed forward. Immediately, the feeling that the area had been sealed became much weaker, but the instant he was about to charge forward …
The teenager's expression remained the same. He smiled and took a step forward, causing the world to freeze. It swiftly spread out and instantly enveloped a circular area of nearly one million lis.
"The world within one million lis has been frozen. How … are you going to escape?" When the teenager spoke with a smile, there was a hint of derision in his gaze when he stared at Su Ming.
"Maybe you can try to escape, if you like a game of chasing and killing." As the teenager spoke, he did not immediately approach Su Ming. Instead, he took a few steps to the side and opened up a path for Su Ming.
"I'll give you ten breaths. Ten breaths later, I will attack and kill the white dogs beside you. I will kill one dog every ten breaths. Forty breaths later, I will capture you." There was still a smile on the teenager's face, but the aloofness in his words caused murderous intent to shine in Su Ming's eyes.
"One …" The teenager shook his head. At the instant he spoke, the Feng Shui compass appeared under Su Ming's feet. It instantly grew larger, and in the blink of an eye, it became one hundred feet big. The bumps on the runic symbols shone, and with a single thought from Su Ming, the Feng Shui compass immediately let out a hum and charged forward.
The Feng Shui compass's speed was originally at its peak, but as the world around it froze, it looked as if it was bound by countless threads. It could not move too quickly, and the teenager's voice still echoed in Su Ming's ears.
"Two …
"Three …
"Four …
The Feng Shui compass charged forward. The feeling of being toyed with caused Su Ming's expression to turn dark. The killing intent in his heart had already become incredibly strong, but the difference in their levels of cultivation caused it to be unable to vent even a single bit of it even if it was incredibly strong.
"Ten!" A voice reached Su Ming's ears swiftly. When he turned his head around, he saw the teenager appear right behind him. His right hand had already seized Big White's neck, and when he smiled at Su Ming, he squeezed down hard. Madness appeared in Big White's eyes, and it instantly chose to self-destruct.
Booming sounds reverberated in the air and turned into a powerful wave of impact that swept up Su Ming and the Feng Shui compass. In an instant, they were pushed into the distance, and the teenager was caught in the middle of the impact. His robes fluttered rapidly, but he stood at the spot where the impact was the strongest. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"It … can self-destruct? This isn't a spirit beast, it's … a cultivator? " When the teenager mumbled under his breath, a glint appeared in his eyes. Clearly, even he did not expect that the white dogs beside Su Ming would be cultivators!
Su Ming's eyes were bloodshot. He did not say a single word, but his heart was already filled with great killing intent. Big White might have been his enemy in the past, but ever since the old man turned him into a white dog, he had been very respectful to Su Ming. Right then, right before Su Ming's eyes, he had been forced to self-destruct. This scene … should not have affected Su Ming's heart, but the feeling of helplessness in the face of a powerful enemy made him remember the faces in Harmonious Morus Alba. All of them had died under one strike from Xuan Zang.
At that time, he had also been powerless!
Once that feeling rose in his heart, Su Ming threw his head back and let out a shrill roar as the Feng Shui compass charged forward.
"One Dao Sect! One Dao Sect!"
Big White's self-destruction and the impact that had exceeded the teenager's expectations might not have been able to shake the teenager's body, but to Su Ming, the impact pushed the Feng Shui compass under his feet to borrow power and break through some of the sealed world. His speed increased exponentially, and in the blink of an eye, he had traveled one hundred thousand lis.
"You sure run fast, but … Hmm?" The teenager lifted his head and stared coldly at the spot where Su Ming had left into the distance. A cold sneer appeared at the corners of his lips. He took a step forward, but just as he was about to chase after Su Ming, his footsteps suddenly came to a halt. Around him, or rather, in the area of one million lis, snow fell.
Once the endless snowflakes appeared, a freezing will instantly filled the entire area. Su Ming, who was one hundred thousand lis away, also saw the snow falling from the sky as the Feng Shui compass charged forward.
"Today, I will repay you for not entering my door that day. From now on, we owe each other nothing." A woman's voice came from the world, and Su Ming recognized it. It belonged to Immortal Qing Han.
As her voice echoed in the air, the snowflakes in the area of one million lis moved past Su Ming and formed a huge wall of ice and snow behind him. At the same time, the seal on the world in the area of one million lis fell apart, allowing Su Ming's Feng Shui compass to instantly recover its speed.
"I see, so it's you, Immortal Qing Han. It's been a long time … but since you stopped me, could it be that you're also interested in this person?" When the teenager's voice traveled forth languidly, Su Ming had already charged into the distance on the Feng Shui compass. Immortal Qing Han's aloof voice reached his ears faintly.
"I owe this person a favor. Fellow Daoist Lin, could you let me go?"
Su Ming could no longer hear what she said after that. The Feng Shui compass he was on charged through the world and left into the distance. Su Ming sat on the Feng Shui compass. He was silent all along the way, but the madness and killing intent in his eyes grew stronger until it filled his entire body, causing his murderous aura to surge into the heavens.
'I must obtain the Phala. Once I eat it, I will possess the power of a Dao Paragon … so that this feeling of powerlessness will never appear in my body again!
'One Dao Sect, One Dao Sect … If I don't destroy this sect, I won't stop. I can't fight against a Great Dao Paragon, but I will make One Dao Sect pay the price in the second and third layers!
'In fact, if I become a Dao Paragon and run into Lin Dong Dong again, I will make him … pay the price as well!' The killing intent in Su Ming's eyes was astonishing. When he mumbled those words in his heart, he saw the spot where Seven Moons Sect had gathered in the distance.
Of the two hundred thousand cultivators from Seven Moons Sect, there were only seventy to eighty thousand left. Gu Tai was also there. When they saw the Feng Shui compass with Su Ming in the sky, their gazes immediately focused on it, but Gu Tai immediately sensed the incredibly great killing intent from Su Ming.
He did not ask about it. In the chaotic first layer, this sort of thing would always happen, and it was not a bad thing. Only by doing so could a person's bloodthirst be stirred up.
When Su Ming closed in on the spot where Seven Moons Sect gathered, the Feng Shui compass under him disappeared. He charged towards the people from Seven Moons Sect. When he closed in, he did not speak. Instead, he sat down cross-legged on the ground and closed his eyes to suppress the killing intent that was about to erupt in his body.
Time trickled by. All the Great Sect Elders of Seven Moons Sect, including Gu Tai, would occasionally lead their people out. Gu Tai's jade slip shone nonstop, sending the information given to him by the sects that had formed an alliance with Seven Moons Sect.
By gathering the power of the alliance, they could ensure that Seven Moons Sect could smoothly step into the second layer in the first layer. In the blink of an eye, twenty something hours passed. The closer the limit of seventy-two hours approached, the more solemn Gu Tai's expression became. The Seven Moons Sect disciples in the area came and went nonstop. Sometimes, there would be more than one hundred thousand people, and at other times, there would be only a few thousand left.
When the final two hours arrived, the number of disciples in Seven Moons Sect was reduced to less than one hundred thousand. Nearly half of them had died. Their corpses might not have been seen, but based on the others' expressions, it was clear that they had been in a devastating state.
It could be said that the one hundred thousand pillars of light in the world were constantly changing every fifteen minutes. Until now, there had not been a single sect that had managed to reach fifty thousand altars. When the final and most crucial two hours finally passed, the one hundred thousand pillars of light in the first level shook. At the same time, the one hundred thousand pillars of light in the sky instantly formed a huge vortex.
When it rotated with loud rumbles, a huge black hole appeared in it. Nearly thirty thousand of the one hundred thousand pillars of light instantly became dim and extinguished. At the same time, a powerful suction force came from the black hole. It did not descend on the entire ground, but only on the region where One Dao Sect was, causing all the cultivators from One Dao Sect to fly up and charge into the black hole in the vortex in the sky.
Then, nearly thirty thousand pillars of light became dim and extinguished, and Asura Clan became the second sect with the right to enter the second layer. As the cultivators from Asura Clan flew into the black hole, the third sect with the right to enter the second layer … was Seven Moons Sect!
Once more than ten thousand pillars of light lost their light, Seven Moons Sect, including Su Ming, immediately sensed the suction force from the vortex in the sky. They instantly flew up and charged into the black hole.
After Seven Moons Sect, none of the remaining thirty thousand something pillars of light had more than ten thousand pillars of light. This was not because their sects and clans were not strong enough, but because of the existence of the three great camps and the fight for the throne during the test of Dao Verification, they had given up on the chance due to the exchange of benefits.
Otherwise, with One Dao Sect and Asura Clan stopping Seven Moons Sect, it would have been very difficult for Seven Moons Sect to have the right to enter the second layer.
At that moment, only One Dao Sect, Asura Clan, and Seven Moons Sect were in the second layer. They would carry out a frenzied slaughter to determine … which sect's disciple would be the first to step into the third layer!
After all, the first sect's disciple to step into the third layer would have a much higher chance of obtaining the Phala compared to the latecomers. This was a chance, and if they could turn this chance into an advantage, then in the end, they would naturally be able to successfully snatch the Phala!
"One Dao Sect!" Once nearly four hundred thousand cultivators from the three great sects and clans stepped into the second layer, they were separated, just like in the first layer. Killing intent shone in Su Ming's eyes. When he looked around him, he saw that the second layer was no longer a vast expanse of wasteland. Instead, there were countless stones floating in the sky.
Those stones seemed to be connected to the ends of the sky. There was no end to them. Clearly, the people in the second layer needed to step over those stones and charge into the sky.
He had not recovered from his cold, but he had taken medicine, so he could continue writing!
